1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,600 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Bruce Feldman, Fox Sports reporter, college football writer 3 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,280 Speaker 1: for The Athletic Bruce will be at the Rose Bowls 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,000 Speaker 1: Saturday night. It's LSU at UCLA. That game will be 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 1: on Fox. Hey, Bruce, glad to have you on. How 6 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: surprised are you that UCLA is favored in this game 7 00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 1: against LSU. To me, the thing Dan that a lot 8 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: of people have kind of had their eyes open too, 9 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,080 Speaker 1: I think, is this might be the year. It feels 10 00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,479 Speaker 1: like the year that Chip Kelly has finally turned the 11 00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,560 Speaker 1: corner with the Bruins. You have a lot of guys 12 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: who played three and four years. He has a big 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,320 Speaker 1: time running game, two really physical running back Zach Charmon, 14 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: a transferred from Michigan. He's a southern California kid. Look terrific, 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,320 Speaker 1: albeit against a really bad Hawaii team. And then you 16 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:54,000 Speaker 1: take the fact that LSU is coming off of a 17 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,680 Speaker 1: rough five and five year and also LSU has two 18 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,840 Speaker 1: new coordinators, both guys offense of play caller and defensive 19 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: play caller. They're brand new, have really no experience calling 20 00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,880 Speaker 1: plays in a game. So I think on the that 21 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 1: side of it, It's going to be interesting to see 22 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: how LSU tries to deal with all the stuff that 23 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: Jip Kelly and his offense is going to throw out 24 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,319 Speaker 1: him formationally as well. As they have three really good 25 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: tight ends. I think they're going to do a lot 26 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:24,480 Speaker 1: of stuff with them and the challenges how does LSU 27 00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: adjust to it. Chip came out with Oregon and it 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,039 Speaker 1: was new, and then he went to the NFL and 29 00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: it was new, and then went to UCLA and hasn't 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: had the success. Maybe hasn't gotten the athletes there. But 31 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: is he still an offensive innovator the way he was 32 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 1: when we were touting him at Oregon and certainly that 33 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 1: first year in the NFL. I think he is. I 34 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 1: think you're going to see some really unique stuff with 35 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 1: what they do in the run game now. I think 36 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: they have the big people up front. When he took over, 37 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: it was a complete overhaul from what Jim Mora had 38 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: and obviously there were been a lot of growing pains there. 39 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: I think the biggest difference with this UCLA program compared 40 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 1: to what he had at Oregon. Remember he jumped in 41 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: with Mike Ballotti. At first he was he was the 42 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: offensive corner. Then he took over the program, but they 43 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: had they had recruited a lot of speed there. They 44 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 1: have a couple of guys who can really run. Kaz 45 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: Allen can fly, but he's a receiver. But in terms 46 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: of you don't see like Michael James d Anthony Thomas 47 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: kind of factor in this offense, um, I think that's 48 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: different for them. They are going to to really try 49 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 1: to get you off balance and get your head spin 50 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: and then bludgeon you with physicality, which is different really 51 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: than what you saw with Oregon, which was everything was 52 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 1: so fast. I mean, he's got his line about how 53 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 1: you know, back when he was at Oregon, they had 54 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 1: they went really fast, and they had fancy uniforms and 55 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 1: shiny helmets, and now pretty much everybody else has those 56 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 1: options too. I think the thing that you're going to 57 00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 1: see with him and he's actually been an innovator, I 58 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: think in a lot of ways in preparation. I mean, 59 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: he's one of the reasons why people all throughout football, 60 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 1: not just in college football, changed they're basically weekly practice 61 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: schedule to get athletes ready for game day. I think, 62 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: so there's a lot of stuff that he probably deserves 63 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 1: credit for that, you know, maybe gets lost as people 64 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: just think about, Oh, he made everybody go fast and 65 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: he talks fast and all that stuff. I think there's 66 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: a lot of wrinkles you're going to see now that 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 1: he has a lot of pieces he can work with 68 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: and a lot of guys who they have a lot 69 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 1: of buy in and a lot of experience, and what 70 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: he's looking for. The quarterback who has the most pressure 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 1: this year is who? Oh, that's a good question. I mean, 72 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: I think you know, he joked and he talked about 73 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: about Bryce Young a minute ago. I think there's a 74 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: lot of pressure on him because the expectation is so high. 75 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: You know. For me, when you're talking about Alabama, what's 76 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: different this year is Sark was great with quarter backs. 77 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: Like I did a story a couple a week ago 78 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: for The Athletic about the evolution of the Alabama offense, 79 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: and there's been so many different hands in it, and 80 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: so many different coaches have come and gone there and 81 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: made their little adaptations. I think Bill O'Brien and people 82 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,279 Speaker 1: remember him obviously from when he was the head coach 83 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: at Penn State and certainly what he did in the NFL. 84 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: But Sark is a big shoes to replace, because Sark 85 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: was as good coaching the quarterbacks as anybody who's come 86 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 1: through in Tuscaloosa. And I think what's unique there is 87 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 1: it's not just we've got to replace Sark. We got 88 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:39,040 Speaker 1: to replace Mac Jones. You have to replace five first 89 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 1: round picks on that offense. And so John Metchi's a 90 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: really good receiver. But the receiving room at Ohio State 91 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: had been I'm sorry, the receiving room at Alabama had 92 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,440 Speaker 1: been off the charts in the last couple of years, 93 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: really in the last decade. I still think there's talent, 94 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: but people are going to expect Bryce Young to go 95 00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:58,960 Speaker 1: in there and just tear it up, and he might. 96 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: I mean, he's really highly regarded kid out of southern California. 97 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: But the bar is incredibly high there at Alabama, just 98 00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,679 Speaker 1: because no matter who's been there, it's kept getting better 99 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,279 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be hard to be better than what 100 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: they were last year, or even as good. I think 101 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: you're going to the LSU UCLA game, but if you 102 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 1: could go to one other game this weekend, which one 103 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,919 Speaker 1: would it be? Man, there's great choices. I love the 104 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 1: matchup in Penn State. Penn State going to Wisconsin. I 105 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 1: think Indiana and ii U is Iowa is a really 106 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 1: fun game. To me, though, you gotta go with the 107 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: top five matchup, and it's like what happens in Charlotte 108 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: with Clemson and Georgia. You got so many five star 109 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 1: guys on the field. I think expectations for national title 110 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 1: is big, especially with Georgia. They haven't done it. It's 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: been a long long time since they won a national title. 112 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,880 Speaker 1: They have all these five star guys and there's a 113 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: lot of hype around JT. Daniels, and you know, I 114 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: want to see it. I mean, because it's not like 115 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: their schedule on either side is loaded. This is the 116 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: heavyweight matchup out of the gate. This is also the 117 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: only ranked team right now that Clemson is set up 118 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: to play in the regular season, so you know, don't 119 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 1: stub your toe here or anything like that. But I 120 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,120 Speaker 1: think what you have are two teams that are really 121 00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: really loaded with big athletic dudes in the front seven, 122 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: especially on the d lines, and I think I would 123 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: expect a really low scoring, physical game with them. And 124 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 1: to me, it's like, how well can Georgia run the 125 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: football because they're down three five star athletes? You know, 126 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: a tight end and receiver and for this matchup, and 127 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: that's going to be hard to put on JT. Daniels. 128 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: I think Bruce Feldman, Fox Sports reporter, he'll be covering 129 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: LSU and UCLA. That'll be eight to thirty Eastern Saturday 130 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: night at the Rose Bowl. How would you sum up 131 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: the off season for college football? Chaotic? Damned to me, 132 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: it was such a bombshell when it came out, and 133 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 1: it came out basically the week of Big Media Days 134 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 1: here that all of a sudden, woe Texas and oh 135 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: you are going to bolt from the Pig twelve to 136 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,680 Speaker 1: go to the SEC. To me, what's so crazy about that? 137 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: In the subplot in this is there's been all that 138 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: talk about college football playoff expansion and there was a 139 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 1: working group with basically four people, the ad of Notre Dame, 140 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: the Mountain West Commissioner, as well as Bob Bowlesby from 141 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve and Greg Sanky from the SEC. The 142 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: fact that this was going they were having these meetings 143 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: and all this discussion and while it was going on, 144 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: Greg Sanky was basically gutting the Big twelve and Bob 145 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Bowlsby's league is kind of really mind blowing business stuff 146 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: and in terms of that and how it really rocked 147 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: the Big Twelve And again I talked to some eighties 148 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: in the league that week who were like, this is 149 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,240 Speaker 1: the most stable we felt like we've been in a decade. 150 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 1: And all of a sudden, now your two brands that 151 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: really are the ones that the TV networks care about. 152 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 1: The other ones they don't rate. It's the two that 153 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,280 Speaker 1: are Greg Sanky and the sec are taking away. I 154 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 1: mean that created a lot of dominoes that are still 155 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: affecting you right now. We think the Big twelve leftovers 156 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: may are going to probably reach out to BYU and 157 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: Houston and Cincinnati and UCF, and so that has a 158 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: domino effect. To me, that's a big part of it. 159 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: The NIL is certainly a story with now we've gotten 160 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: used to players posing for pictures with cars that they 161 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 1: just got and it's all legal now. I mean, that's 162 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 1: another like whoa moment that where are we at in 163 00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: twenty twenty one? We've come a long way. Good to 164 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: check in with you, Bruce. Should be fun. This year 165 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 1: certainly a whole lot different than a year ago.

I'm a little down right now, Dan, 183 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,559 Speaker 1: I got just got some disturbing news. A former teammate 184 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: up to mine, David Patton. I guess he was involved 185 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: in a motorcycle accident that took his life. I heard 186 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,400 Speaker 1: it that his wife is in critical condition. I just 187 00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,280 Speaker 1: got the news this morning, maybe about twenty minutes ago, 188 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 1: and I'm just I'm devastated. He was such a great man, 189 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 1: a great man of God. I'm a great leader in 190 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,440 Speaker 1: our locker room. Man, I'm just I'm just heartbroken. Would 191 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: you rather do the interview another day? Now? I'm gonna 192 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: finish it off the day and I'm okay, buddy, I 193 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 1: appreciate you. Um Can I bring you back to the 194 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,959 Speaker 1: three O four Patriots when you guys repeated because there's 195 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 1: been that you know, that talk with Tom and trying 196 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 1: to do this again with Tampa Bay. What was the 197 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,160 Speaker 1: key thing about that going into the O four season 198 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: that Belichick reminded you or that that was the most 199 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 1: important thing about, Hey, this is what we do and 200 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: we can win it again. Well, you know, after the season, 201 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: we never really discussed the super Bowl. The biggest thing 202 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 1: that head said, Hey, this is a totally different team. 203 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:42,559 Speaker 1: It's a new season. No one talks about repeating. We 204 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: focus on one game at a time. And really he 205 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 1: set the tone for that mindset. And you know, as 206 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: much as we wanted to go forward and think about it, 207 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: oh man, we had a chance to repeat. He always 208 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: reminded us. But also we had so many great veterans 209 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 1: in that locker room that constantly the Teddy Bruski's in 210 00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 1: the world, Will mcguinnis, myself, Richard Seymour, all those guys 211 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: constantly reminded not only the veteran players but also the 212 00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 1: rookies that, hey, you know, we haven't won anything. I mean, 213 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: this year is its own individual year and you have 214 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: to focus on that. What do you think Brady is 215 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: telling his teammates one game at a time, don't worry 216 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: about last year, all those different things, but he's definitely 217 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 1: letting them know, like, look, guys, we can win this 218 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: because the mindset is different. Like with the Patriots, you 219 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: could really never be outwardly expressive as far as hey 220 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,719 Speaker 1: we want to repeat. But with Tampa Bay, I mean, 221 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: it's a new regime. It's a lot of younger players 222 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: with a great variety of some veteran players, so I 223 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 1: think they openly will claim that, hey, they feel like 224 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 1: they can repeat. Definitely, I think Tom that's definitely in 225 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: Tom Brady's mind. When you don't have athleticism, you don't 226 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 1: lose athleticism. So is Brady basically the same quarterback as 227 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 1: you had when you were there with him in New England. Yeah, 228 00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 1: and I think he has a whole heck of a 229 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: lot of weapons on him. I mean, you look at 230 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,719 Speaker 1: the weapons he's got, Mike Evans. If he continues to 231 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: go on the path that he's going, he's going to 232 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: be a Hall of famer. Antonio Brown arguably as a 233 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,920 Speaker 1: Hall of famer. Bronk is a Hall of famer. And 234 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: they had that run game with the offensive line, the 235 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: veteran coaching staff that made some great adjustments the second 236 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: part of the second half of the season. And Tom 237 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,640 Speaker 1: his eagerness, his his um, you know, his desire to 238 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,719 Speaker 1: be the greatest. And Tom's always looking for that motivation 239 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 1: and um, I got some funny stories, but I can't 240 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: tell him today about Tom and just that motivation. But yeah, man, 241 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: he's he's really motivated and he's ready to go. Wait. Wait, wait, 242 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,840 Speaker 1: you can't say you have funny stories, but then you 243 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: can't tell them too long. It takes too long, Dan, 244 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,000 Speaker 1: I mean, like on a different podcast or something like that. 245 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: This is a Dan Patrick show. You don't have thirty 246 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: minutes to be wasting your time with me. All right, 247 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: all right. I know you used to frustrate him in practice, 248 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:52,680 Speaker 1: and you know, because he was going against a pretty 249 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: good secondary and and you know, Brady was ultra competitive 250 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: even in practice. Yeah, he was. And you know the 251 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: bad part about today's NFL, everyone's so caught up in 252 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: an athletic quarterback. Well, Tom Brady won the most Super 253 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,680 Speaker 1: Bowls without being athletic. If you're smart, you're a great 254 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 1: decision maker. Your teammates believe in you. And that's the 255 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: biggest thing with Tom. Tom never wanted to disappoint his teammates. 256 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 1: He never always wanted to make sure that he wasn't 257 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: the reason why we lost. That he wanted to be 258 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: the reason why we won. And you know, just that 259 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: mindset over twenty some years, man, it's just amazing to 260 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 1: see how everything has transpire for him. Did Mac Jones 261 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: win the job or Cam Newton lose the job? I 262 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 1: think Mac Jones won the job. That's why I had 263 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: nothing negative to say about Cam. I think you know, 264 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: you look at Mac and everything that he did. He 265 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 1: came in the first game, they put him in a 266 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: no huddle offense and let him just thinking dunk, let 267 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: him throw the ball down the field decide who and 268 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: you'd watch him play. I mean, the kid is accurate, 269 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: he's smart, he's so poised, and you know, he's not 270 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: afraid to get in somebody's face. I just love the kid, 271 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 1: and I think that it was a I never thought 272 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: that Kim would get cut, but the fact that he 273 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: got cut just shows me that Cam has a big, 274 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: big personality and you can't have somebody with that type 275 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 1: of personality behind mac Jones because you just don't know 276 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: how it's going to affect the young quarterback and it 277 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: could potentially divide the locker room as well. Does Cam 278 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:23,880 Speaker 1: play again, Well, he has to decide if he's okay 279 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 1: with being a backup quarterback because he's not going to 280 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: be a starter in this league. If he wants to 281 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: be a bridge quarterback, or if he wants to be, 282 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: say a backup quarterback to someone you know for a 283 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 1: period of time, then yes, But I don't see Cam 284 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: Newton signed with anyone and being there starter this year, 285 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: next year, or even in the future. Much. The last 286 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,880 Speaker 1: time you cracked up, Bill Belichick cracked up, like made 287 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:50,720 Speaker 1: him laugh. Well, I just think the last time that 288 00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: week we you know, when I got inducted to the 289 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame the Patriots. I think it was two 290 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. We just had some you know, some old 291 00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: conversations that we hugged and we smiled and we at 292 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: and and it was just good to see coach. But 293 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 1: I think Coach has done a really great job of 294 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: getting talent, surrounding this young man with talent. You look 295 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: at their offensive line is going to be good, and 296 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: it goes four or five deep at the running back position. 297 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: They always have special good special teams and a better defense. 298 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: I think their defense is going to be top five, 299 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 1: top ten, and this kid is set up to succeed 300 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 1: right now. I believe that they could push Buffalo for 301 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: that division. I think they're a playoff team for sure. 302 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 1: And I agree that offensive line is going to be 303 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: one of the top five offensive lines probably, and then 304 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 1: you have all those running backs and you got the 305 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,680 Speaker 1: tight ends as well. It does feel like sort of 306 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: what they did with Brady when they put Brady in there, 307 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: you guys had a really good defense, and you know 308 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 1: at the time, Bill's going just don't don't lose a 309 00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 1: game for us. It felt like, but go back to 310 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:55,080 Speaker 1: that Super Bowl when Tom wins' is first and instead 311 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: of playing for overtime, and John Madden famously during the game, 312 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, with Tom Brady there, they should 313 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: be playing for overtime. Brady comes out in that two 314 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,480 Speaker 1: minute drill, you know, leading you down for Minitarry's kick, Like, 315 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 1: what was that like though? On the sidelines, when all 316 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: of a sudden you realize Belichick's letting Brady try to 317 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: win this game, Well, I think we froze. Can you 318 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: hear me? Rod? Oh? Once again, I thought I had 319 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: a great question, and then he was really giving a 320 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,080 Speaker 1: great thought. There good set up to Yeah, I know, 321 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,840 Speaker 1: I know, I know. Yes, my cluban Patriots, maybe playing 322 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: with the equipment as they've been known to do the 323 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: video equipment. Maybe he didn't want him answering that, Oh, 324 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: just conspiracy. There no scenes given a scene's give me 325 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 1: a look. Yeah, anytime there's a negative Patriots story, Seaton's 326 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 1: always Have you ever agreed with any of the negative 327 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,720 Speaker 1: story Seaton about the Patriots? Where you go, Yeah, I 328 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: could see that, or I agree with the negative stories? Yeah, 329 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 1: Like what do you mean? Give me an example, Uh, 330 00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 1: deflate Gate's ideal gas law. They hadn't explained right away, 331 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,960 Speaker 1: why hasn't the league ever released the whole Next year, 332 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,239 Speaker 1: the league spent a year of whole season testing all 333 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: of the footballs in their air pressure. Rodney's back, Rodney's back, PS, 334 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: I think, Rod, Can you hear me? I can hear you? Dan? Okay? 335 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: Take me back to that first Super Bowl Brady won 336 00:17:28,040 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: and when you guys are on the sidelines and he's 337 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 1: trying to win, Belichick's letting him try to win that 338 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,720 Speaker 1: game instead of going into overtime. Yeah, Dan, think about 339 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 1: it down. Tom's not built to try to tie the game. Tom. 340 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 1: He's built his mindset is no matter what situation that 341 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 1: we're in, no matter what the circumstances, Tom Brady is 342 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,920 Speaker 1: trying to win. And that's the confidence that we had 343 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: in him, you know. And that's why it didn't matter 344 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: if you see Tom with fifty seconds, forty seconds, a minute, 345 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,679 Speaker 1: or two minutes. These are things that we've always worked 346 00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: on and that that's when Tom Brady really shines in 347 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: those critical moments, and that's the thing that really separates 348 00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: him from everyone else. It's Rodney Harrison, NBC Football Night 349 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: in America analyst, two times Super Bowl champ do you 350 00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 1: care about the Pro Football Hall of Fame? Um? I do, 351 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 1: UM to a certain point. I believe that I definitely 352 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: deserve to be there, but also believe that you know, 353 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:24,879 Speaker 1: in time and when it's when it's my time, I 354 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,679 Speaker 1: will go. You know, I used to get caught up 355 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: in all that guy how did he go and stuff 356 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 1: like that. But at the end of the day, it's 357 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,680 Speaker 1: not even about that. Um, It's about you know, when 358 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: when it's ultimately my time ago, I know God's gonna 359 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: lead the way and I'll be happy with it. Who's 360 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 1: the best defensive back in your opinion in the league? Now, 361 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: no that that you ever played against. I would say 362 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: you have to put a guy like a Charles Woodson 363 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: in that category. I think, you know, Charles, over the 364 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: course of his career, he's shown so much versatility. A 365 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 1: guy that could play outside. He's played inside as a nickel, 366 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:03,440 Speaker 1: as a you know, he played as a linebacker, he's 367 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,920 Speaker 1: played as a deep safety. So a guy like that 368 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: to be able to be that productive over that many 369 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,679 Speaker 1: years and played a multitude of positions, I would think that, 370 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: you know, I would say when he retired, I called 371 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 1: Charles or texting him through Peter King was like, hey, 372 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 1: I think you're the greatest defensive back of all time 373 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 1: because he can do everything at every single position. Charles 374 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 1: could have been a pro bowler at every single position. 375 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: In the secondary, most frustrating wide receiver that you faced, 376 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: oh it had to be Jerry It would be Jerry 377 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: Rice and Marvin Harrison because no matter how much you 378 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: hit Marvin Harrison, how much you jammed him, that little 379 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,400 Speaker 1: dude was always going to find a little way to 380 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 1: get right there in the openings and catch the ball. 381 00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: Jerry Rice because his relentlessness, his route running, his consistency, 382 00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: no matter how hard you hit him, he's gonna come 383 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 1: right back across the middle. And look at you said, 384 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: that's all you got, get up and run back to 385 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: the huddle. So those two guys are definitely the most frustrated. 386 00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: And you got mine for your hit on Jerry Rice, 387 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: didn't you, didn't you? Yeah, I gotta find like a 388 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:06,440 Speaker 1: full game check. And I was back in like ninety eight, 389 00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 1: I think it was or two thousand and one, and 390 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 1: they got me for about one hundred and fifty grand man. Wow. Yeah, yeah, 391 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:16,080 Speaker 1: but it was worth it. It was worth it. Now 392 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: do you write the check or do they take it 393 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: out of your just put it like this when you 394 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,359 Speaker 1: go and they they're gonna find you a game check. Basically, 395 00:20:25,480 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 1: you just don't collect your check. You just don't happen. 396 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: You just don't get that check. So it was just 397 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 1: a Monday or Tuesday that I just met in and said, Hey, 398 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: I just don't get paid this week. But it was 399 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 1: nice knocking his head off. What do you say to 400 00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: your wife when you say, hunting not getting paid this week? Hey, 401 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:47,160 Speaker 1: we still got money? Still root over your head? Ruby? Fine? 402 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: Who do you like one of the Rams or the Chargers? 403 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: The Rams, I think Matthew Stafford. I think he's gonna 404 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 1: do a great job. Can you get him to the 405 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: super Bowl? We'll see. I mean he hasn't been in 406 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 1: that situation before. But overall them as a group, I 407 00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 1: like the continuity. I think Sean McVay is still a 408 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: really solid head coach, and I think that defense will 409 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: be good with Aaron Donald. So I would definitely give them. 410 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: And you look at the Chargers, man, the Chargers over 411 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: the years, they've had special teams issues, they've had penalties, 412 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: They've always been just so injuries, undisciplined, and can't kick 413 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: field goes just all those different things. But I think 414 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: slowly but surely, Brandon Staley will get this team back 415 00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: to where they need to be. And Derwin James coming back, 416 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: he's going to be outstanding. Look for him to be 417 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,879 Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. Aaron Rodgers more likely to 418 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: stay or less likely to stay if the Packers are successful, 419 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,040 Speaker 1: I would say, I would say if they if they 420 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 1: win a super Bowl, I can say, you know, they'll 421 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: probably extend them and give them a big contract. But 422 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,679 Speaker 1: if they don't win a super Bowl, and it's just 423 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 1: really disrespectful from a Packers organization standpoint, Like, no matter 424 00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:01,160 Speaker 1: how much Aaron Rodgers frustrate you, he's great. He's great, 425 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 1: and he doesn't deserve to be treated the way they 426 00:22:03,680 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: treated him. How can Aaron Rodgers ever go into a 427 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: season worried about his contract? I mean, how does that happen? 428 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: Like he is that great of a player where he 429 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: should never have to worry about his contract, like Tom 430 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: should have never had to worry about his contract. Those 431 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 1: dudes you take care of because they love football, they're 432 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,879 Speaker 1: passionate about it. They put team first and they should 433 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,959 Speaker 1: be rewarded and I just don't understand, Like, who's ever 434 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:28,360 Speaker 1: running a Green Bay Packers? Why would you even put 435 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,320 Speaker 1: your team in a situation like this. Let along Aaron 436 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: Rodgers having to come out publicly and it's all a 437 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 1: distraction and your goal is to win a Super Bowl. 438 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: I think it's going to affect him going into the season. Well, 439 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: if they gave him a heads up and said we're 440 00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 1: drafting Jordan Love, that doesn't mean he was going to 441 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,680 Speaker 1: be happy that they were drafting Jordan Love. I think 442 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: they were. They were betting on Aaron Rodgers. You know, 443 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:55,959 Speaker 1: his numbers were going to continue to drop. He had 444 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: had two subpar seasons for him, and they thought, Okay, 445 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 1: the end of sneer, We're gonna draft Jordan Love. I 446 00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:06,360 Speaker 1: understand what their logic was, but can you give him 447 00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 1: a headge up that you're going to be drafting a 448 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,040 Speaker 1: quarterback or well even if even if you do, or 449 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:14,560 Speaker 1: if you don't, you still have to go to him 450 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,160 Speaker 1: out of respect and to me, if I'm an organization, 451 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: if I'm running an organization as a general manager, I'm 452 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: pulling Aaron to the side and I'm letting them know, hey, 453 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: our plan is this. Our plan is to draft this 454 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: young man, let them learn two or three years behind you, 455 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: and let you do your thing and buy that. What 456 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to do is I'm gonna come and we're 457 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 1: gonna do a new contract to let you know that 458 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: that's our intention. But they didn't do that with Aaron Rodgers. 459 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 1: They didn't show him the respect or the loyalty that 460 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 1: he deserved, and he had a right to be pissed off. 461 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 1: I've been working on my Belichick impersonation. Let me see it, Ronnie. 462 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:49,679 Speaker 1: I think you're a Home of Famer. It's great to 463 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 1: talk to you, and I wish your best. NBC.

Your favorite band or 527 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:23,040 Speaker 1: artist that you performed with over the years is who? Wow? Wow, 528 00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: that's a heck of a question. You know, we performed, 529 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: I don't even wear to begin we performed. You know, 530 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: we opened for Stevie Wonder, We opened for David Bowie 531 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: on his first American tour, Blood Sweat and Tears. We 532 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 1: played with uh, you know, we played with when We've 533 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 1: done shows with the Eagles, and the list goes on. 534 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,160 Speaker 1: I mean, we've been doing this for almost fifty years. 535 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: So but Bowie again, Bowie wasn't Ziggy Stardust. This was, yes, 536 00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,159 Speaker 1: it was his first. It was the first show on 537 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: the Ziggy Stardust tour, and we opened for him in Memphis, Tennessee. Absolutely, 538 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: what did you think when you saw? I was shocked 539 00:27:57,119 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 1: because I had been a fan of him for his 540 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: first album, Hunky Dorry, which he was, which was kind 541 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,840 Speaker 1: of an experimental singer songwriter, acoustic kind of record, and 542 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,399 Speaker 1: I had no idea what he was going to do. 543 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,879 Speaker 1: And when he came out in the sequin, you know, 544 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:13,600 Speaker 1: with the red hair and the whole bit, I was like, okay, 545 00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: so you can actually do that in your career. It 546 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,880 Speaker 1: was eye opening, honestly. But then you're with Stevie Wonder. 547 00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 1: The list goes on and on. You know, we we 548 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, we did Live Aid in Philly with Mick 549 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: Jagger and Tina Turner, and we played the Apollo Theater 550 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: with Eddie Kendrick and David Ruffin from the Temptations. I mean, 551 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: I really, you know, we've just been blessed and fortunate 552 00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: to be part of a great era in rock music history. 553 00:28:39,640 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I feel like we got a 554 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: chance to pick the cherries from the top of the tree. 555 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,320 Speaker 1: You know. But would you rather talk music or would 556 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: you rather talk sports? I'll talk sports. We're in sports 557 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,000 Speaker 1: show man. I love sports. I've been a you know, 558 00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: I'm an amateur athlete. I guess you could say over 559 00:28:56,280 --> 00:28:59,320 Speaker 1: the years when I was in school and always loved, 560 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,120 Speaker 1: always love football, but I was always too small to play. 561 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 1: And well I was in junior high. I wasn't too 562 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,959 Speaker 1: small until I kept getting my butt kicked and then 563 00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,440 Speaker 1: I said I better better concentrate on Strom and my guitar. Okay, 564 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:14,920 Speaker 1: you get a chance to meet Nick Saban? Oh? Yes, 565 00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,360 Speaker 1: what was that like? We were playing in Tuscaloosa and 566 00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: the promoter was an Alabama alum and we had it 567 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: was right, he said. He said to me, he goes, Hey, 568 00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: after sound check, do you want to go over and 569 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: see Alabama practice? I said yes, and I got a 570 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: bunch of the guys in the band together we went 571 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: over there and it was it was an amazing experience. 572 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: I have to say, if if you ever have to 573 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: question about why Alabama is Alabama. Just if you had 574 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,880 Speaker 1: the good fortune to take a tour of their facility 575 00:29:46,520 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: and see what happens inside that room, it's you know, 576 00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: you'll become a believer immediately. And it was really interesting 577 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,560 Speaker 1: because we actually got to meet coach Saban and they 578 00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: told us when we first came in that he very 579 00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: rarely sees it anyone during during the season, and so 580 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: we were saying, oh, you know, sure, of course, whatever, 581 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: you know, whatever he says. Well, we went up to 582 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: his office and he has a nice, nice woman who 583 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: kind of handles things for him up there, and I said, 584 00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: any chance I could sit at his desk and she 585 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 1: said sure. I said can I wear his hat? And 586 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: she says yeah. I said what about can I put 587 00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 1: the rings on? And she said absolutely, because he had 588 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 1: all his rings on the front of desk. There's a 589 00:30:27,800 --> 00:30:29,720 Speaker 1: picture of me. I'll send it to you. There's a 590 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:31,840 Speaker 1: picture of me sitting at his desk with the hat 591 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:34,280 Speaker 1: and going like this. And we got all the rings 592 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 1: on and it was amazing. And then in the next 593 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 1: room he was sitting there doing some paperwork and he 594 00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:41,840 Speaker 1: graciously got up and spent spent a good five to 595 00:30:41,920 --> 00:30:44,320 Speaker 1: ten minutes with us and we talked, but I could 596 00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: tell his mind was somewhere else, even though he was 597 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,480 Speaker 1: you know, he was very very cordial with us, but 598 00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: he was he was focused in and it was an 599 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,760 Speaker 1: amazing experience. So I have to say we saw, you know, 600 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts and Tuah were both practicing with two different 601 00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 1: groups at the same time. It was during that period 602 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,440 Speaker 1: of time, and uh, it was great, it was amazing. 603 00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:06,800 Speaker 1: But when I first met you in Paris and you 604 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 1: said you love the SEC, Like, how did you fall 605 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: in love with SEC football? I moved to Nashville. I 606 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 1: had to. I had I had no choice. Um, you know, 607 00:31:18,240 --> 00:31:21,719 Speaker 1: you you live in the South. You uh, you eat, sleep, 608 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,440 Speaker 1: and drink SEC and it's you know, and quite frankly, 609 00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just an amazingly competitive and very 610 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,440 Speaker 1: high level of excitement and that the fans. It's a culture. 611 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: It's a culture in the South. It's more than just 612 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,360 Speaker 1: a football game. Have you guys done the anthem at 613 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 1: a sporting event. I've done the anthem a number of times. 614 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:45,000 Speaker 1: I did the anthem. I've in fact, we just played 615 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,000 Speaker 1: Denver just two nights ago at the former Pepsi Center, 616 00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:49,800 Speaker 1: and I first time I did the anthem was for 617 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,840 Speaker 1: a Nuggets game. But the most memorable one was when 618 00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:56,720 Speaker 1: I did the anthem for the Phillies against the Rays 619 00:31:57,240 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: on the famous game that got reigned out, the only 620 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: game I think in World Series history that got reined 621 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,800 Speaker 1: out and wind it out. I mean I remember people 622 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: they were hitting five balls and the ball was landing 623 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,400 Speaker 1: a thirty from them. You know, so I got to 624 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,200 Speaker 1: sing it, sing it there and uh, I've sung it 625 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:19,040 Speaker 1: an number of times. UM. And then you guys just 626 00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 1: got off a tour. You were traveling around the world, 627 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: and then you're coming back state side, and then you'll 628 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:26,720 Speaker 1: start here is oh no, no, just dud. Due to 629 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: COVID we we had you know, obviously we were off 630 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:30,520 Speaker 1: for a year and a half. We just did a 631 00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:34,320 Speaker 1: twelve twelve cities and we started August fifth. Quite frankly, 632 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:36,400 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure whether we were going to make it 633 00:32:36,440 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 1: to today. Um. If our tour manager called me in 634 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,760 Speaker 1: the morning and said, hey, dude, go home, it wouldn't 635 00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: have surprised me. But the fans turned out that the 636 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: audience was incredible. We had a very secure COVID safe 637 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,200 Speaker 1: bubble among our our team and our crew. Um, no 638 00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:55,640 Speaker 1: one got sick, so you know, I counted as a 639 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,040 Speaker 1: big win.

I love singer songwriters. Joni Mitchell I 651 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,840 Speaker 1: was a big fan of the band, so I have 652 00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: really eclectic taste when it comes to music. But you 653 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:40,200 Speaker 1: guys don't refer to yourself as Hall and Notes.

We did that on purpose, so 656 00:33:46,080 --> 00:33:48,479 Speaker 1: I know it seems like a subtle point, but we 657 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,640 Speaker 1: always wanted to be perceived as two guys who work together, 658 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: and it's it's I know it's a subtle distinction, but 659 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 1: it matters to us, and so the world calls us. 660 00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:01,080 Speaker 1: Hall notes it's more convenient, of course. Um, but yeah, 661 00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:04,880 Speaker 1: we were two individuals. We think differently, we lead different lives. 662 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,720 Speaker 1: We come together and we have a lot of commonality 663 00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,600 Speaker 1: where our music comes together, but we're perfectly capable of 664 00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 1: making records and doing things individually. All right, Um, Fritzie, 665 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:19,440 Speaker 1: who booked you as a huge hole? Notes Fan? I 666 00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:22,480 Speaker 1: kind of heard the preamble to this. Okay, all right, 667 00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 1: you know where I'm going with this, John, I'm not 668 00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,400 Speaker 1: quite sure, but I think I'm ready. Okay, Fritzie, what 669 00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: song would you like to sing? I'm gonna say too John, 670 00:34:32,600 --> 00:34:35,400 Speaker 1: not with John, if John decides that he wants to 671 00:34:36,160 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 1: join in. But um, I'm assuming that's water you're taking 672 00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:43,959 Speaker 1: a drink out of John before you do this, not 673 00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:47,200 Speaker 1: not vodka or anything. Well you know, yeah, actually it is. 674 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:49,200 Speaker 1: It is water, and I have a feeling. I have 675 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:53,680 Speaker 1: a feeling. I'm gonna wish any all right, Fritzie, what 676 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:56,920 Speaker 1: what do you want to sing? With? One of your idols? 677 00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 1: Kiss on my Lift, Private Eye is probably my favorite, 678 00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,160 Speaker 1: but I went with kiss on my list for Okay, 679 00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:03,279 Speaker 1: why don't you sing just a little bit? So John 680 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,040 Speaker 1: at least understand sort of you know what what your 681 00:35:06,160 --> 00:35:08,239 Speaker 1: voice range is. Though, you won't kill me too much, 682 00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,279 Speaker 1: because again, since I'm a little kid, I love oh 683 00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:12,960 Speaker 1: note time. You know. I don't want to say president 684 00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:15,000 Speaker 1: to the fan club, but I am a huge fan 685 00:35:15,120 --> 00:35:18,839 Speaker 1: just saying okay, okay, my friends wonder why I call 686 00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:22,880 Speaker 1: you all the time? What can I say? Hey, I 687 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:28,640 Speaker 1: don't feel the need to give such secret away. Maybe 688 00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:33,400 Speaker 1: I need help. No, that's enough. Okay, that's enough. I 689 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:35,960 Speaker 1: get it. I've heard that song before.

That was very exciting. Just 695 00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:55,839 Speaker 1: now that you seriously made a dream come true here 696 00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,600 Speaker 1: that I'm talking to John and singing now see once again, 697 00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 1: I think, but no, my dream make my dreams.

Um, it's kind 709 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: of interesting. You guys were like throwing out all these 710 00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,400 Speaker 1: titles and a lot of deep tracks too, which was 711 00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:44,560 Speaker 1: cool because you've got family. Man, I can't go for 712 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,439 Speaker 1: that kiss on my list man eater, h one on one, 713 00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,439 Speaker 1: out of touch, private eyence, rich girl, Sarah smile say 714 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:55,560 Speaker 1: it ain't so she's gone. You make my dreams. You've 715 00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:01,279 Speaker 1: you've lost that loving feeling? Yeah? Uh, Fritzie, do you 716 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: have another one that you want to do? Here? With John? 717 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:05,239 Speaker 1: Before I put him, like, you know, out of his 718 00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 1: misery and I let him go. Okay, I chose you've 719 00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:10,240 Speaker 1: lost that love and feeling because that's that's like all 720 00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,080 Speaker 1: John Oates, he get he gets that wrong, and that's 721 00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,000 Speaker 1: like all about Oates. So I thought that would be 722 00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,920 Speaker 1: a good song. Are you are? Is that your song? Though? 723 00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,200 Speaker 1: That's no, no no. That was written by Philip by 724 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: Barry Mann and Cynthia While, two amazing brill building songwriters 725 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: from way back in New York City. That was originally 726 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 1: recorded by the Righteous Brothers. And that's I mean, do 727 00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:32,359 Speaker 1: you have If you have a minute, I can tell 728 00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,760 Speaker 1: you a very kind of quick, crazy story about that. Yes. Absolutely. 729 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,520 Speaker 1: We had made an album called Voices in the early eighties, 730 00:37:38,600 --> 00:37:40,960 Speaker 1: and in those days what we would do is we 731 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:42,840 Speaker 1: would have a listening party for our friends, for the 732 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,520 Speaker 1: record company radio people, and we'd bring them into the 733 00:37:45,560 --> 00:37:47,600 Speaker 1: studio and we debut the album, you know, and of 734 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,799 Speaker 1: course it would always hopefully, you know, big success. We 735 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,520 Speaker 1: did that and you know, everyone was the vibe was good, 736 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,880 Speaker 1: but we felt their own. I both thought after we 737 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,800 Speaker 1: listened to it and its entirety, we said something's missing. 738 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,239 Speaker 1: We didn't know what it was. So after the listening party, 739 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,240 Speaker 1: we were in the village. We were recording an Electric 740 00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:06,080 Speaker 1: Lady on Eighth Street in Greenwich Village and we went 741 00:38:06,120 --> 00:38:08,439 Speaker 1: to the pizza place, which was literally half a block 742 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:10,960 Speaker 1: down the street, and we were having some pizza and 743 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 1: on the jukebox came the Righteous Brother's original version of 744 00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:15,640 Speaker 1: the Loss that Love and Feeling, and we looked at 745 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:18,880 Speaker 1: each other, go, why don't we just cut that? And 746 00:38:19,080 --> 00:38:21,520 Speaker 1: so the next morning we went into the studio with 747 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,080 Speaker 1: a band. We cut it in half a day, recorded 748 00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: the tracks, sang the song, put it on the album, 749 00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,320 Speaker 1: and it became a big hit for us. So it 750 00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: was just one of those things. It was just kind 751 00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:35,120 Speaker 1: of happened. But and you were also we are the world. 752 00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,200 Speaker 1: You part of that, right, I mean there were a 753 00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:42,680 Speaker 1: lot of different people in there, you know, not amazing. 754 00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:45,760 Speaker 1: How do you explain that though?
